Four-part session

Observe, construct, compare, reflect

  1. 1

    Sweep the dragon's spine from the raised head through the chest and around the curled tail in a broad S-curve.

  2. 2

    Thicken the neck and torso around that spine, leaving a pale segmented belly ribbon visible along the inside curve.

  3. 3

    Fold the near foreleg and hind leg beneath the body, then pass the tapering tail across the foreground rocks.

  4. 4

    Grow the wing from the shoulder with one long upper strut, shorter finger struts, and a stretched membrane between them.

Keep the session going
